What does this assessment measure?

The capacity of short-term memory and the ability to make detailed observations

What is the task?

The test taker is presented with a number of different pictures or images and the task is to memorise these and to indicate which are identical to the ones already seen earlier in the test.

Each test is created by an item generator at run-time. This means that the assessment is different for each test taker thereby helping to prevent cheating, especially important for unsupervised, online administration.
